Tt was understood that exceptions would be made for certain plants using: non-vital materials and em-ploving em-ploving help that could not be used for war work. It appeared certain, however, that ttie new policy would affect adversely the scheduled production produc-tion of 2.000,0 electric irons, about half of which were simposed to be on the market by the end of the year. The marketable n"rnbe'- was r now to b" estimated at about 200.000. Chairman Maury Maverick of the smaller war plants corporation. corpora-tion. if was learrifd, has ?lrfdv conferred with WPB officials on t procedure to determine whicn plants in the tight labor areas could increase their civilian goods production without interfering with essentia work in that area. He said in an interview that he favored formation of "task committees" com-mittees" of manpower and pro- . duction experts that rouV be senr i-' the field to examine the situation situ-ation at each nlant. The former Texas cr erresman said it was vital to the nation's economy to keep small plants ir operation while armv r-n t were being cut back. This could be done in many cases, he said, withn'it ieopardizing the output of military weapons.
